@niush And he even hadn't prepared for the interview. I noticed people with lack of knowledge don't prepare to interviews. They can easily google common questions but they don't do this.

@Gxost Probably Dunning-Kruger effect... "I'm smart enough anyway I don't need to prepare"

@12bitfloat He thought we'll like his enthusiasm but he did nothing to prove that he's really interested in learning. Also we were looking for a middle, not junior.

For those of you who are having interviews ... remember this
A very experienced PM/WebDev came to us. His resume was fantastic but a bit strange. He wrote he had been working for 15 years but his experience in C# was 18 years. Though I was sceptical about this guy, others expected him to be a .NET guru. So, the interview began. The candidate described his brilliant career, then he said he wanted to move forward as a programmer and work with the newest technologies. It wasn't easy to ask him basic questions but they were in the list, so we needed to start with questions for juniors. I asked him to tell us about value types and reference types, and the answer was: about what? I repeated the question, and he said he didn't know about such complex things. I knew his resume was strange but I was disappointed. It turned out that our candidate didn't know C# at all.
